So the greatest common factor 12,42,914 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 306,251,363
3 | 306, 251, 363 |
102, 251, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 102 x 251 x 121 = 9293526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9293526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/306,42/251,914/363 is 2/9293526
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 306,251,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(306,251,363) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(306,251,363) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(306,251,363) = ( 306 × 251 × 363 ) / 3
LCM(306,251,363) = 27880578 / 3
LCM(306,251,363) = 9293526
